Willamette, the triploid daughter of Fuggle, was released as a U.S. aroma variety in 1976 from the U.S.D.A. breeding program in Oregon. The variety is characterized by a low alpha acids content, mild aroma similar to Fuggle and medium cone yields. It is more difficult to grow than most varieties.
Alpha acid: 3.8-6.5%
Aroma profile: A predominance of resiny, woody aromas of incense, along with red berries, augmented with fleeting nuances of cream caramel. Furthermore, overtones of citrus, green fruits and floral notes.
